Montney’s natural gas is a crown jewel
No wonder that Resource Works founder and CEO, Stewart Muir, called the Montney natural-gas reserves “British Columbia’s economic crown jewel.”
The Montney Formation in BC and Aberta has an area of 130,000 km², about the size of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia combined.
And “The Montney” now is, by volume, the dominant natural-gas resource in North America.
The Montney play is experiencing rapid expansion, with projections suggesting up to 32,000 new wells could be drilled by 2050 to support liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
